Exegesis
The second hemistich, introduced by the conjunction waw, presents umakot khadrei-vaten {וּמַכּ֗וֹת חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן | ū-mak-kōṯ ḥă-drê-ḇā-ṭen} ‘and blows the inward parts of the belly’, indicating a parallel consequence from external wounds to internal effect. English translation preserves this structure by pairing “wounds… and blows” and by reflecting the verb-noun cognate pair in a verb-object construction to maintain the Hebrew rhetorical balance and the movement from corrective action to inward transformation.
